Our goal with our new trout-products for both nymph and dry flies is for everyone to make realistic looking flies in a few minutes. We admire the super realistic art-flies and the tiers behind these perfect looking flies, but when it comes to flies for catching fish, we would like to have more simple type of flies that still looks like “the real stuff”. For that goal we have designed and produced a range of new innovative products for that kind of fishing flies – flies that look great and can handle to catching fish after fish...

The Stone Clinger nymph shell is ideal for making imitations of the common ephemeropterea nymphs, produced with advanced print-technology, precut and with UV-gloss to create a realistic looking finish on the fly. The idea is that the back-shell is to be put on top of a dubbing body and attached with a rib. The thorax or front body is typically created with long fibred dubbing and perhaps rubber legs or hackle fibers as legs. The head-part is flipped backwards for creating a perfect looking head-part of the Stone Clinger nymph – ready in few minutes.
